It is intended for products that require active pull down of the remote control terminal to switch on. Victron lists it for connecting the discontinued Phoenix Inverter 12\/180, 24\/180, 12\/350, or 24\/350 to a VE.Bus BMS or to a BlueSolar MPPT charger that has a load output. If you run one of those inverters in an RV, an off-grid cabin, a mobile workstation, or a backup power setup, this cable lets your battery protection or solar controller decide when the inverter runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt costs little and takes up almost no room, but it can be the difference between an inverter that follows your system's logic and one you have to babysit. Think of it as the polite messenger between two devices that otherwise speak different dialects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVictron Energy Inverting Remote On-Off Cable Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eActive Pull Down Design For Inverters That Need It To Switch On\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot every remote on-off input works the same way. Some inverters need the remote control terminal actively pulled down before they will turn on. This inverting remote on-off cable is intended for exactly those products, so the signal from your BMS or charger is the signal the inverter expects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eVE.Bus BMS Connection So The Inverter Shuts Off When Batteries Are Empty\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the cable links a compatible Phoenix inverter to a VE.Bus BMS, the inverter will be switched off when the batteries are empty. For lithium battery systems, that means your battery management system can step in and turn the inverter off, rather than relying on you to notice a low battery in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLets the VE.Bus BMS control the inverter's on and off state\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwitches the inverter off when the batteries are empty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces the need for manual intervention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eBlueSolar MPPT Load Output Control For Solar-Powered Switching\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictron notes that connecting an inverter directly to the load output of a BlueSolar MPPT charger is not possible. The inverter has to be connected to the battery. This cable gives you the workaround: wire the inverter to the battery, then use the cable to switch it on and off with the charger's load output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCompact Cable Format For Easy Fitting In Tight Spaces\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a simple cable accessory with no extra hardware to mount or power. That suits the cramped compartments, battery bays, and equipment cabinets common in RVs and mobile installations.

That works, but it relies on you remembering to turn it off before the batteries run flat. Letting a VE.Bus BMS or a charger's load output handle that job removes the human factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother idea is to wire the inverter straight to the load output of a BlueSolar MPPT charger. Victron states this is not possible, so the battery-connected approach with this cable is the route to use. And if your inverter is not one of the four models listed above, a different remote on-off solution may be the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs This Cable Right For You?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a precision part, so the main question is compatibility. It is meant for owners of the discontinued Phoenix Inverter 12\/180, 24\/180, 12\/350, or 24\/350 who want to link the inverter to a VE.Bus BMS or a BlueSolar MPPT charger with a load output. Check your inverter model, your BMS or charger, and your wiring plan before purchase.
